Eidos, Ion, & The Romero

by Steve Gibson Jun 20, 2000 8:16pm CST tags: John Romero, Daikatana, Eidos
Also, the rumor of the day about Eidos getting bought out by Infrogames has been confirmed by WellRounded to be not true. You can read the quick article over here. In addition to that, a few places have been reporting that John Romero's job is in jeapordy. Gamers.com got a quick quote from "The Romero" as they call him (heehee)

"Yes, it's complete dumb bullshit. We're #7 in one list, #10 in another, etc. We're the top shooter on the charts -- and Eidos is happy," the Romero said.

Daikatana Keeps Selling

by Steve Gibson Jun 13, 2000 12:00pm CST tags: Daikatana
Well now, a lot of you guys seemed surprised that The Daikatana was a top10 seller on its first week of sales. (Given all the bad reviews). It looks like The Daikatana is hanging tough for yet another week only dropping 2 spots down to #7. The GameWeek editor also tells me that Eidos is looking at *raising* the price of Daikatana back up to $39. Also of note is Quake3 has shown back up on the charts after quite a long time.
